Child Protection

Help for Kids - Preventing Child Abuse

When you're a kid, you should know you have rights too. Always remember:

No one has the right to abuse you

You don't deserve to be abused

It's not your fault that you are being treated this way

If you are being abused, please tell a safe person - that's someone you can trust like your teacher, relative, counselor, neighbor, parent or doctor.

You can also talk to a Childhelp hotline counselor. Call 1-800-4-A-CHILD (1-800-422-4453) then push 1 to talk to a hotline counselor. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All calls are free and anonymous. (The hotline counselors don't know who you are and you don't have to tell them.)
